IPv6 campus network deployment guidelines for DNS, Web server, Proxy server and Wi-Fi

The deployment of IPv6 is becoming increasingly imperative world over because of the address-space limitations of its predecessor, IPv4, and the surge in internet services over the past decade. However, despite the solutions promised by IPv6, there is still significant reluctance to its large-scale adoption owing to different reasons such as the need for a better understanding of inherent deployment challenges and compatibility concerns with the existing IPv4 architecture. In this regard, the campus network deployment guidelines presented at length in this report hope to build upon similar previous undertakings and substantially contribute to the cause of IPv6 adoption in developing countries such as Pakistan in terms of the definition and implementation of DNS, Web server, Wi-Fi and Proxy server functionalities. In addition, the expected technical benefits and a comment on the technology and policy aspects of IPv6 adoption are also explicated.
